Description

The module DSPY lets you scan the network for running Descent and Descent 2 games:

  • Support for Descent 1 and Descent 2 (no shareware/demo versions so far).
  • Runs under Kali, Kahn and LAN. (Note: when using in Kali you need to set it up as a game)
  • View detailed information of each game running, including the complete player stats!
  • Scan for a mission that is played in a current played game with DETLEF and directly download it with only 4 mouse clicks!
  • Monitor a game with the option to log it in a text file!
  • Game mode-dependant display (e.g. Kills table in Anarchy mode, Score/Robo-Deaths in cooperative mode, Nr. of Flags in Capture the Flag mode)
  • Source code available!

 

Screenshots

Here are some screenshots (click on the image to get a larger one):

The browser screen will show you all currently running games on the current selected socket/game, incl. level name, difficulty, game mode and the number of players. To view the exact player stats of a game, click on it, and you'll see the stats on the lower list. All kills are displayed in x/y form. E.g. in the picture on the left player DILBERT e.g. has killed ZENIO 5 times, while ZENIO killed him 3 times. Suicide kills are listed as negative numbers.
You can now monitor a game incl. the option to save a log of it. Great for tournaments, or if you are just interested in how good your friend fights, when you have no chance to look on his monitor (e.g. on Kali).
Other features include viewing details of games, players and of course directly scanning for a played level on DETLEF servers: only four mouse clicks, and you are ready to join a game playing a level you did not already have. Also you can "preview" a played level with the new LVLVIEW32 tool, provided that the level is installed on your HD (e.g. just installed by DETLEF32).
